ANGIRA 

ARTISTS STATEMENT
I was a little insecure about my body, I never thought of myself as sexy or particularly attractive but this project helped me realise that I have my own aesthetic and that I'd like to express this aesthetic of my nude body through the art of photography. First I felt a little awkward because I was not used to posing so much, but then as my creative thinking kicked in I was able to find unique angles and see my body differently. This was definitely a valuable experience. There is actually quite a bit of exhibitionism in my life. I do not own pajamas because at home I'm always naked, I like to go out on the balcony at sunrise, and feel the sunrays and gentle wind on my skin. I now live together with my girlfriend and our roommate and we have all agreed to allow being naked, even in the public spaces of our home, because there is nothing wrong or vulgar about a naked body. It's just a body.
